This is wonderful! I added 2 hard boil eggs, handful of frozen peas and 1 - 4 oz jar of diced pimentos. I made it with chicken; but would also be delicious, I think, made with high quality tuna.

I've been using this recipe since one of my sisters-in-law shared it with me in 1984. The name of the recipe was "Anything You Like ala King". You can substitute seafood, hard-boiled eggs,
